In this message, John
interprets the death of Jesus through the lens of Old Testament sacrificial
cleansing. The ‘Blood & Water’ which flows from Jesus’ side is the living
water and the cleansing blood that restore our relationship with God. In
becoming human, Jesus becomes ‘thirsty’ even as humanity is thirsty for God. In
living in absolute obedience to the Father, Jesus ‘finishes’ the work of
redemption, reclaiming humanity for God.
